Abstract: (690 Views)
Background and purpose: With the establishment of a comprehensive health information system (SIB system) in the health department of Iran's health system, one of the important programs of this country to improve health care through the integration of health information was keyed. This study analyzed the performance of this program from the point of view of the end users of the system in the health centers of Boyar Ahmad city.
Materials and Methods: This study was a qualitative research that was conducted using semi-structured interviews and focus group meetings with 25 system users, support officials and staff experts at different levels, reviewing relevant documents and also observing users' performance. The snowball sampling method was carried out in a targeted and networked manner. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the data. MAXQDA10 software was used to record, organize and manage study data after collection.
Results: The findings of this study showed that the deployment of this system from the users' point of view contains many positive and negative points, which can be categorized in five general axes, data management system, caregivers' performance, care management, quality of care and infrastructure. The most important challenges of the system included technical inefficiencies, operational inefficiencies, the challenge of statistics and reporting, and technical and social infrastructure, and the most important benefits were improving the quality of care, tracking and reporting, facilitating the care process, and improving the performance of caregivers.
Conclusion: From the point of view of users, the Sib system can be considered as a positive experience in improving the quality of health care, but due to the existence of many challenges, it is far from its final goals
